Robert Wilson has graded the yard at
the end Of his house, and is contemplat-
ing putting upa new porch and other
repairs.
The roads are in worse condition
than they usually are at this time of the
year. The trunk across the road at this
town has the dirt washed away from it,,
making it dangerous for wagons to cross
as it might snap spring. The culvert
near Barksdale is even more dangerous
than the above and they should be at
tended to at once.

1t seem to be II favorite pasitime for
young men from the country to make a
race course of our Main Street ON Sun
day evenings. They do not seem to
realize the fact that they are violating
one OF the towns laws and liable at anv
time TO be arrested and fined to the full
extent of the law. These young bloods
not only endanger their own lives but
the lives Of the citizens, especially chill
dren. There can be no doubt but what
they indulge in such rccklessness with
out giving thought of the danger they
place themselves in and the great an
noyance they cause all who witness their
antics. 1t is to be hoped the warning
given is timely, and that those to whom
it is intended will consider how seriously
they are in the wrong. If you must try
the speed of your nags, younggentlemen,
on Sunday evening, go to some good
piece Of public road and there with your
best girls beside you enjoy the sport to
your hearts content.
1t is slways best to be sure before
you undertake to take what belongs to
an honored institution OF tins State. Of
course we all understand that some peo-
pie want the earth with several other
planets thrown IN, and this is about the
style of people at the Conference Acad-
envy. From the Dover correspondent to
the Erery Erening we clip the following:
"The Wilmington Conference Academy
evidently wants to take advantage of the
dissension at Delaware College and try
and obtain the SIS. coo appropriated by
the national government to Delaware.
At the trustees meeting on Wednesday
series of resolutions were offered by
Rev. j. a. b. Wilson, which it was in
tended to keep secret. The purport of
the resolutions is that the academy es-
tablish an agricultural institution with
three professors, and that the Legisa-
ture at its next session designate the
academy us an agricultural department,
under the meaning of the act ofCongress
and thus secure the $4,000. Hon Eli
salisbury, Gov. b, r. Biggs, Hon. John
b. Pennington and Speaker w. X. Me-
GAZE were appointed committe to pre-
sent the matter before the next session
of the General Assembly" Two Or more
of these gentlemen appointed on this
committee are trustees of Delaware Col
legc. How is this for consistency? 1t
looks as ifa few designations were in or

Glasgow.

The farmers are about through with
their wheat harvest. The crop in most
places is far below the average.
Children's Day exercises were observed
in both churches, and everything passed
off pleasantly, judging from the jingle of
the pennies the collections were also a
success.
The storm in this section was some
thing of a cyclone. 1t uprooted some 25
young trees for Delaware Clark, and
blowed several down for f.. 5. Armstrong
Of Cooch's Bridge, which spoiled the
looks of his pretty lawn. Mr.. 4. says
he would not have taken 500 for one
graceful willow that was completely
ruined.
Miss Julia Boulder gave her annual
picnic last Thursday. \ good number
was present and all stayed as long as
they could enjoy themselves. The day
was spent in playing games and ball.
The old structure owned by Cooch
Bros. which was built in 1892, and has
had nothing done to it since in the way

The rail road company have erased

Some of our neighbors decided to have
days fishing, so Thursday was selected,
and that day was fair and warm. One of
the number stopped in Christiana, but
what he got is shown below. They ar
rived at $3.50 and proceeded to fish.
Everything was going along smoothly
when all of sudden the large man was
seen going down the bank in bull frog
style, grabbing at something, when he
appeared again he looked very much
like he came out second best. lie ex-
claimed, there goes my $50 watch"
After spending the rest of the day and
catching two fish, which they put back
to see if they were large enough to swim,
they started for home. Next afternoon
the large man returned with two divers
and showed them where he was sitting
when he saw his watch roll in. They
worked for an hour and then said it was
not there for they never went in the
creek after anything they didn't get.
Determined to have that watch the tall
man Offered them ten dollars to bring it
out, so in they went again with no better
success than the first time. Then the
owner said he revolved in his mind
where he had been, the thought came to
him he had been down in the field dig
ging for worms and the watch might
have dropped out of his pocket there, so
he went down to the place and there he
saw the coveted watch shining in the
grass. He gave the divers their part of
the bargain and looked happy If what
he got in Christana had been preached
we would say that it had had something
to do with it but as it was, the Christiana

The beginning Of disease is slight
debility or disorder Of some of the vital
organs, the stomach, the liver of the
bowels usually. There are dyspeptic
symptoms, the liver is troublesome, the
skin grows tawney and unhealthy look
ing, there are pains in the right side
or through the right shoulder blade.
The climax is often an utter prostration
ofthe physical energies perhaps fatal
issue. But if the difficulty is met in
time with Hostetter's Stomach Bitters,
which is always effective as Il remedy,
and it should be restored to at an early
stage, there will be no reason to appre-
bend those injurious subsequent effects
upon the system often entailed by entire
~ cured diseases. Far better is it, also,
to employ this safe remedial agent in
fever and ague, and other malarial CONF
plants. than quinine and other potent
drugs, which, even when they do prove
cllectual for time, ruin the stomath
and impair the general health.
